President Joe Biden spent part of the 4th of July holiday stumbling through a brief and baffling series of remarks for military families gathered at the White House. As usual, Biden’s delivery was a mix of confused mumbling and bizarre tangents, reinforcing concerns about his capacity to handle the responsibilities of the presidency. True to form, he managed to bring up the thoroughly debunked “losers” and “suckers” hoax regarding former President Donald Trump, proving that no day is too sacred to avoid taking cheap political shots.
Biden recalled a visit to a World War I cemetery in France, where he allegedly witnessed Trump’s supposed disdain for fallen soldiers. His rambling delivery and apparent confusion prompted laughter from the audience, making it unclear whether they were amused by the story or just Biden’s lack of coherence. As if that weren’t enough, he ended with an angry proclamation about the greatness of the United States, which, predictably, did little to salvage his muddled performance.

The president seemed intent on revisiting this discredited narrative, despite being well aware it has been debunked. Trump has repeatedly stated that the quote attributed to him was fabricated and the so-called source was fired. Yet Biden, perhaps straying off script, couldn’t resist taking another jab. One might wonder if he realizes how desperate and unpatriotic it looks to rehash fake news during an Independence Day celebration meant to honor military families.
In another cringeworthy attempt to relate to the military families present, Biden bizarrely claimed to have been “in and out of battles” alongside them. The statement added another layer to the ongoing surreal atmosphere of his remarks, leaving everyone questioning what he was trying to convey. Was it an attempt at camaraderie? It certainly missed the mark and only added to the confusion.
The scene unfolded further when First Lady Jill Biden appeared to guide her husband off stage, a moment that played out like a long list of befuddling Biden exits. He shuffled away, slurring through his very brief remarks read directly from a large teleprompter. The entire episode looked more like an improv comedy routine than a dignified moment of presidential leadership.
Lastly, Biden managed to bungle a parting comment by oddly rambling about traffic congestion from his senatorial days. His handlers had to step in to nudge him in the right direction, leading to his comical declaration that “he’s not going anywhere.” Unfortunately, the audio cut off just as he was being corralled, but the ensuing disorganized shuffle told the story loud and clear.
In the final tally, the 4th of July display was another episode in the Biden presidency that left many Americans scratching their heads. While the military families politely clapped, it’s clear they deserved a more inspiring and coherent leader on a day meant for national pride. The White House might still be figuring out how to spin this appearance, but for those of us paying attention, it’s just another reminder of the troubling state of our highest office.
